PINNING AND HOLDING DEVICE FOR JEWELRY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 11, 1908.

Application filed February 28' 1907. Serial No. 359,912.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MosEs GREEE, a citizen of .the United States, residing in Atlanta, in the county of Fulton and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pinning and Holding Devices for Jewelry, of which the following is a speci fication.

This invention relates to pinning and holding devices for jewelry.

It has for its object to provide means for holding jewelry in a fixed position so that it may be repaired with much greater ease.

Other objects and advantages will appear in the following description and will be more particularly pointed out in the claims:

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment 'of my invention, showing one form of holding member. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of another embodiment of my invention, showing another form of holding member. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of still another embodiment of my invention, in which the article is held directly by the walls of the clamping slot.

In the embodiments shown in Figs. 1 to 3 a U-shaped clamping frame 1 is provided having penetrating points 2 and a clamping slot 3 in its connecting arm 4:, having yielding or spring walls. In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a holding member 5 is removably fitted within clamping slot 3 and projects between the two prong members of the frame 1. The holding member in Fig. 1 is provided with a spring clamp 6 while in Fig. 2 it is notched at 7 to span and hold an article against a support 8 in which the points 2 are forced. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the slot 3 in the frame 1 serves to hold the article which is clamped between the spring walls thereof.

I desire it to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, I may make various changes without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the ad vantages of my invention.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A frame having pointed arms and having a portion connecting the arms and extending at right angles thereto and provided with a longitudinal clamping slot.

2. A supporting member provided with a clamping slot having spring walls, and a holding member removably held in said slot by the spring walls of the slot.

3. An approximately U-shaped frame provided with pointed ends and a clamping slot having spring walls; and a holding member removably held in the clamping slot by the spring walls of .the slot and projecting between the two arms of the U-shaped frame.

The foregoing specificationsigned at Atlanta, Georgia this 27th day of October, 1906.

MOSES GREER.
